Account Manager (Agency)

Profound is the marketing platform for the age of AI search. The way brands reach people is being rewritten — AI models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode are now the answer layer between companies and their customers. We built the platform marketers use to understand, measure, and win in that world: the analytics, intelligence, and agent automation that turn AI search from a threat into a competitive advantage. We went from 0 to a $1B valuation in 18 months. Revenue grew 100x last year. Our customers include 15% of the Fortune 500 like Walmart, Wayfair and U.S. Bank, and innovators like Ramp, MongoDB, and Figma. We are backed by Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, LSVP, and Khosla Ventures — and we are moving fast enough that the people joining now are building the playbook everyone who comes after them will run. As an Account Manager, Agency, you'll be at the center of this transformation and drive growth across your customers. You'll partner directly with Profound’s agency partners’ executives and key stakeholders to understand their business goals, address pain points, and ensure Profound is delivering clear, measurable ROI for the agencies and for their end clients. Working closely with our Agency Engagement Managers and Agency Account Executives, you'll connect platform usage and engagement to real business outcomes, and expand relationships both within agencies and with their end clients.
